6EC3FHKXWQ00 Whirlpool Refrigerator - Instructions

After reading some of the other repair reports, I realized I had to remove two plastic tabs on each of the slider tracks for them to fit properly into my shelf arm. I accomplished that with a rotary sander/grinder since there was no notch or hole for them to fit in my situation. That done, it was a simple matter of sliding the tracks in and out with a bit of help from a hammer (only slightly though). The repair took all of 10 minutes or so. I enjoy that my drawer no longer falls out when we use it!

I removed the drawer and shelf from the fridge, then snapped one broken track out. I had to gently pry the track near the middle with a screwdriver to pull out the one small circular tab then the track slid right out. Thankfully I had read some other customer's instructions first so I was not surprised to see the new part had two other small circular tabs that kept it from fitting that I had to file off before snapping the new track in place. I repeated with the other side. It was super easy, I spent more time looking for the file than actually doing the repair! The other reviews were really helpful, without that I would have been more nervous about filing the tabs off the new parts.

Watched video first. Very simple removal and replacement.

pulled old shelf, inserted new one

Took out the draw removed shelf laid it down on towel. took regular screw driver tapped slide out put other slide on put back shelf and slid in drawer. So simple I did it.

Pulled socket out of housing, unplugged it from source, plugged in new socket and replaced the socket into housing, screwed in bulb and it worked!!

The bracket when mfg'ed had plastic molded round (bud like pieces on both ends of new bracket. In order for the bracket to be flush and to fit, I had to saw off the round nubs off. After I did this, the bracket fit without any more problems.

Slid off existing tracks and slide new tracks on. One track was a little stubborn to go on, so I put on some utility gloves to get better grip. Your staff are great to work with and the repair items arrived very quickly. Sears was over $10.00 higher per track. Saved a lot of money and got great customer support. Will use your store in the future!

Was easy. Great web site. Good picture of part. Received in two days.

Used tip of needle nose pliers to release the plastic retaining pin and was able to slide the tracks out. I was able to install one of the new tracks by hand but the other would not slide in place. I had to use some taps with a rubber hammer to start it. I never saw what it was hanging up on, but the hammer did the trick. Were it not for the snag, the install would have taken about two minutes. The bin and sliders are working perfectly.

Removed pan from fridge. Removed shelf unit and placed on bath towel, upside down. Removed plastic slide rails from both left and right sides. Re-installed new rails (left and right were interchangeable). Put new installation back in fridge and slid pan back in. Super simple!!! A video was available on Partselect on the replacement parts page. ANYONE can do this!!! Thanks much Partselect!!! Brian

Couldn't snap the track in no matter how much pressure I exerted. Was afraid I would break the plastic. Maybe it was the wrong part. Found a suggestion in the partsselect tips area. Used a nail file to slowly sand/grind down the plastic hubs. Took my time doing each one several times. Tested installation after each round of sanding down, so as not to go too far. Eventually (5 or 10 minutes of sanding) it popped right into place. What was even more amazing to me is that I ordered the part around 2P.M. on Friday and it was delivered to NJ the next day(Saturday) before noon.

With a little help of the hammer, I gently tapped the track in place. It wasn't difficult to replace. It was a tight fit, but fit. Thanks again. I will shop this site again for parts.

I ordered the part and slid it in. No issues at all.

watched the video provided on this site. I thought I would have to buy the whole glass panel and then the video showed how the tacks pop off and how easy it was to put the new ones on. So glad to have found this site. I will check here whenever I need a part. Also, the item arrived in 2 days!
